Mantris first shared music with the world around three decades ago as the driving force, together with Christoph Waelkens, behind house outfits The Black Sun and Brown Hardware Inc. with early 90s releases on cult label Elektron. A productive music career was forecasted, but Mantris then vanished into thin air, until early 2020s when new solo studio productions by Mantris started to happen. "I’m So Many People", his masterpiece debut album on Mahorka, a journey, unfolding from darkness to hope, was remastered and released in 2024, although it was recorded 2-3 years earlier. Compared to his earlier albums, this new one was even more focused on sound progression, fused with melodies and chords.
"Echoes Of The Silver Screen" is his second album coming out on the label. Its story, although separate, is related to that of the first one and other Mantris works created in the same period after COVID hit in 2021 and his daily life totally changed without a job for a year. During that time, he poured himself into music and recorded 1 EP (which he is currently reworking) and 4 albums, including the two on Mahorka, of which "Echoes Of The Silver Screen" is the last to be completed.
That same year 2021 he was looking into the idea of writing music for motion picture productions. He cold-emailed an Indian director based in New York regarding possible collaboration who replied that he was shooting a thriller short film and needed proper background music for a scene. Mantris whipped something up, and he loved it. It was his first time doing anything like that. The short film's working title was "Hummingbird", and, notably the Mantris track for it also included hummingbird sounds. Although he never heard back from the director and, apparently, that film was never released, this work inspired him to explore further this musical direction. The end result is "Echoes Of The Silver Screen", where you can also recognize the reworked soundtrack by the hummingbird sounds still there.
